Fine wood dust constitutes a massive health risk to human beings. With the BOKU-patented technology fine wood dust can be reduced, by generating coarse dust particles from the fine ones. In addition, the energy consumption is lowered as well. The Energy Globe Award was founded in 1999 by the Austrian energy pioneer Wolfgang Neumann, and is today the worlds most renowned environmental award.
